Ahhh, the Mystery Machine going into a skid. A staple of the original "The New Scooby-Doo Movies." They even used one of H-B's car skidding sound effects to complete the motif!
It was kind of unusual seeing the Scooby gang in their classic designs meeting with Batman in his "modern" WB design, probably because I'm used to seeing the Scooby gang when in their classic designs meeting Batman, he'd either be in his 70s H-B design or the "Brave and the Bold" design. They even had Kevin Conroy do Batman's voice, and of course Mark Hamill doing a great job as the Joker!
Wow, Scooby's Batman imitation was surprisingly almost flawless!
Nice to see Velma paired up with Scooby and Shaggy when splitting up, just like the olden days. (I've often done it that way in the Scooby-Doo fanfics I wrote.) Though it was probably because they split up without the guest star accompanying them, as usually he/she would go with Scooby and Shaggy.
And then we get another "Scooby-Dooby-Doors" sequence that ends up getting silly!
And then Scooby's upset over the Man-Bat cracking Scooby's phone screen? He should be glad it wasn't smashed to pieces like Velma's phone!
Heh, Scooby bouncing up on the hose and beating on the Man-Bat in different ways before knocking him down was reminiscent of "Never Ape an Ape Man" when Scooby would knock on the Ape Man in a similar fashion during the movie shoot scene!
And when Shaggy tries hiding in the closet, I heard more classic H-B "wood door" sound effects!
I enjoyed how the Joker wore rubber masks of Alfred and Langstrom under the Man-Bat mask. That's right up the Joker's alley! And I enjoyed how he said "All those masks were SO hot, and my face was living in the tropics! Not in a good way, if you know what I mean!"
I figured the Joker would be behind it all, as I know the Joker all too well. No matter; it was great to hear Mark Hamill voicing the Joker again.
Now comes the wait for the second half of the first season. So far I'm enjoying this show, and it's a fun way to celebrate Scooby-Doo's 50th anniversary!
